Of course they are not the exact same and i never said that, and obviously people will pay more for a newer model, but i would have thought, that the basic engine is very similar and to say that a 33 gtr will always respond better to mods than a 32 gtr (especially when you consider the weight of the cars) i would not have agreed with.

Also I would consider the fact that the 32gtr in straight line was quicker than the 33 to start with.

Read HPI issue 51 and all will be revealed.

32gtr's are faster than 33's in "stock" form. Wack an exhaust on the 33 and it would be even.

ill see if I can scan it for you champ and post it up. What im saying is mod for mod the newer model will always make more gains due to things being slightly more revised.

Cheers

Chris

Kool, yeah i get where your comming from and that makes sense, all i was sorta saying was starting with a car that is the quickest and lighest, if you looked at the mods in terms of how much faster they make the car rather than how much more power they give, then the r32 may come out on top, depending on the mods

I'm a R33 lover but i can see where your coming from, stock for stock 32 is quicker, mod for mod wouldn't the 32 still be quicker then??? ohh and the 32 is only quicker in a straight line, not around a track and we all know thats what a GTR does best!!

Not really :)

Face it, the 32 has a few more years under it's belt. If today, you were to line up a STOCK 32 with a STOCK 33, i'll put my money on the 33. From Factory, when new, they were a "bee's prick" faster in the 1/4 mile, but today they are more worn and will stuggle to bet the newer models.

Before you reply all defensive and make more statements like; "the mighty 32 gtr, blah, blah, blah", just remember, i too would buy a 32gtr over the 33gtr, but it has nothing to do with the illussion of them being faster.

I would take a 32 gtr over a 33 as well but I would be heavily swayed towards a 33 if it were a series 3 in midnight purple.........

Chris

Ditto...

MNP S3 R33 GT-R is sure one sexy beast, but that's me...

If you want good GT-R, just find one that is in good condition throughtfully whether if it's R32 or R33.

If you want to run on rwd, you could get 2WD/4WD switch thingy, it should work on all model of GT-R (correct me wrong if so).

It's your money, choice and taste, you decide which 1 to choose for, just do what everyone suggested for the ownership of the mighty GT-R.

Cheers

Grant

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!

      Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out

      I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.

      I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?

      I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
